Like if I say rape is immoral and a theist will say but that's just my subjective view. It's the law, sure but there is nothing fundamental grounding why it's wrong, it's just society and consensus agreeing that's it immoral. If, for example, society and consensus agreed that slavery was moral then it would be moral, etc.
I'm not well versed in the morality arguments, but I want to learn more so I can actually defend my moral foundation against theists because its something will inevitably come up in a debate. Your input, advice would be appreciated.
I think that morality should be founded in treating others fairly based on who is loving and who is not and to what degrees. (The more loving the more worthy of respect and the less loving the less worthy of respect.) This is something I believe in and I don't see how theists could credibly refute it because they could be cornered into being unloving themselves if they try to.
